6:02 am
a senior officer faced questions as to why no arrests had been made, while the coroner is said to have described the scene inside the building as "apocalyptic". despite today's deadline set by the prime minister, for everybody affected to be found a home nearby, the majority of survivors remain in hotels, as nick quraishi reports. this was the first opportunity for families to put their questions directly to police and the westminster coroner. one reason this private meeting lasted more than 3.5 hours. it's understood relatives were told in graphic detail the challenge that forensic teams are facing in even trying to find dna which could identify loved ones. they say the information they are getting isn't good enough. we personally asked, where is our family? we want to know, is our families' bodies still there? is there anything from them? whatever it is, we want to know exactly what it is, do not hide anything. and the answers that
6:03 am
were coming back were, "we don't know, we don't know, we don't know." today is the deadline set by theresa may to rehouse the 158 families made homeless by the disaster. according to the grenfell response team, that target has been met, with 139 formal offers made, butjust nine have been accepted. lawyers for survivors say most of the accommodation is simply unsuitable. three weeks after the tragedy, police still maintain their investigation will be exhaustive and will bring the answers that the families desperately deserve, however long it takes. nick quraishi, bbc news. we'll be speaking to the spokeswoman of the grenfell fire response team atjust after 7am this morning. we will try to get to the bottom of some of those questions, as to why people aren't accepting the offers of accommodation. victims of harassment and stalking in england and wales are being left at risk because of failings by police and prosecutors, according to an official report. two watchdogs found that crimes
6:04 am
weren't being recorded, investigations were poorly conducted and legal protection wasn't offered to enough victims. they examined 112 cases in detail and concluded that none had been dealt with well. officers and prosecutors were identifying cases in isolation, whereas by its very nature both stalking and harassment occu i’s nature both stalking and harassment occurs as a result of really pernicious and persistent offending and officers and prosecutors were missing that, which meant that victims were left at risk. the united states has confirmed that a weapon fired into the sea of japan by north korea was an intercontinental ballistic missile. in response, the us and south korea carried out a missile fire exercise. china meanwhile has called on its ally north korea to suspend its missile programme. for the latest, let's speak
6:05 am
to our beijing correspondent stephen mcdonell. how significant a step forward is this by north korea?” how significant a step forward is this by north korea? i think it's a pretty significant step. you remember that donald trump tweeted backin remember that donald trump tweeted back in january that "it won't happen", that north korea would get missiles capable of hitting the us. it still hasn't got them, what it 110w it still hasn't got them, what it now has missiles that can reach the us. 0ther now has missiles that can reach the us. other bits of the icb aren't there. —— icbm. so a big step forward towards what seemed like a red line for president trump. what is now happening here today is that the military, the south korean military and the us military, is sending pretty strong messages to north korea. the two military leaders say the difference between peace and war is self restraint.
6:06 am
that's a choice we make, we can make a different choice. so were pretty direct threat to north korea. the us and south korean military have let off live missiles to show what kind off live missiles to show what kind of power —— firepower they've got. so it's a matter of a much more dangerous situation. not quite there yet, where mr trump has to say, right, that's it, now it really is the military option, but it's getting away. we will be speaking more about that later in the programme. we will have a special guest at about 6:40am. saudi arabia is the biggest foreign promoter of islamist extremism in the uk, according to a foreign policy think tank. the henry jackson society accuses saudi individuals and foundations of exporting "an illiberal, bigoted ideology" and calls for the uk government's secret report into extremism to be made public. the saudi embassy in london has called the allegations "categorically false".
6:07 am
police repeatedly failed a disabled refugee who sought their help before being murdered in bristol four years ago, according to a report by the independent police complaints commission. bijan ebrahimi made dozens of calls to police, mainly to report racial abuse, criminal damage and threats to kill. he was eventually beaten to death by a neighbour who wrongly believed he was a paedophile. avon and somerset police say they have made changes and has apologised to his family. jon kay reports. bijan ebrahimi. he told police dozens of times that his life was in danger. to just do whatever you can. what part of 'be quiet' do you not understand? shut up! now a report says that over several years, the iranian refugee was repeatedly failed by avon and somerset police, treated as a nuisance, not as a victim. in 2013, he was beaten to death by a neighbour outside his flat and his body set on fire.
6:08 am
the independent police complaints commission says there were systematic failures in the way he was dealt with. today's report runs to hundreds of pages and it says this whole case has laid bare what it calls the disrespect, the prejudice and even contempt with which some officers and staff treated bijan ebrahimi in the days before he was murdered here. reading that report and just coming to terms with what happened to bijan, it was devastating. he always thought that he is in a country that police are there to protect people. and he couldn't see anything beyond that. last year, pc kevin duffy and community support officer andrew passmore were jailed after being convicted of misconduct in a public office. pc‘s leanne winter and helen harris were cleared by the jury but were later sacked by a misconduct hearing. we accept that we failed bijan ebrahimi at his time
6:09 am
of greatest need and throughout that time, he was respectful and he had confidence and trust in us, the police. and we let him down and for that, we are sorry. avon and somerset police say they have improved the way that they deal with vulnerable people as a result of this case. bijan‘s sisters are still waiting for the local council's report. we will pick up some of those thoughts on the peace later —— piece later. the average student debt for graduates in england is set to rise to over £50,000, according to new research by the insititute for fiscal studies. ben's joined us to tell us more. pretty stark research. they also point out that many students will be pained that debt into their 50s, so not able to shake off the debt from their student days for a very long time. that's because the interest rates are very high, about 6.1%. if you compare that to the base rate at
6:10 am
the bank of england, it isjust you compare that to the base rate at the bank of england, it is just a quarter of 1%, so a huge disparity. they suggest students are being asked to pay too much on the money they borrow. they've also looked at figures specifically. if over the course of your degree you borrow about £45,000, you will pay nearly £51,000 back once you add in all of the interest. that's why people will be paying it back for so long. of course there is a threshold where the payment kicks in. you have to work 21,000 powers if a job you hope to get when you leave university before you pay that back —— £21,000. they've made it clear that threshold hasn't changed, so people have to pay more earlier, because that hasn't risen in line with inflation. the universities have benefited from this money. they have increased how much they spend on students by about 2596 much they spend on students by about 25% since these changes were brought m, 25% since these changes were brought in, but nonetheless the burden for stu d e nts in, but nonetheless the burden for students is very much still there, a off debt into their 50s, with a pretty massive interest rate on what
6:11 am
they borrow. i worked as a labourer when i was a student to try to get the debt down. a good summerjob! what did you do? carry bricks? built patios, dug holes. useful skills. i was a waitress. the rationing of nhs treatments such as hip, knee and cataract operations, as well as mental health services, has increased significantly in england over the past four years according to a study published in the british medicaljournal. growing financial pressure and increased demand for services has led some areas to withdraw funding for some procedures, leading to what doctors describe as a growing postcode lottery. it's the food that kept troops alive in the second world war and then was fed to unwilling school children in the post—war years. spam is 80 years old today! and let's face it, it's still the tinned meat lots of us love to hate. some people obviously love it,
6:12 am
with eight billion cans of the stuff being sold, and believe it or not it's a delicacy in some parts of the world. it was even immortalised in a monty python sketch. anything without spam in it? we've got spam sausages. anything without spam in it? we've got spam sausageslj anything without spam in it? we've got spam sausages. i do want any! why can't we have spam and egg sausages? can i have eggs, bacon, spam and sausage without the spam? i don't like spam! spam, spam, spam, spamity spam! it was so funny. are we going to tuck into this later? we are going to be cracking into this later. quite a few people already sending in their spam recipes. paul says he is fishing with it today.
6:13 am
and what i love about it is as far asi and what i love about it is as far as i can remember it hasn't changed. the shape, the colouring, everything still looks the same. very dangerous to open it. they have changed the lead. far safer these days. spam and chips used to be a regular thursday night meal in my house. nothing wrong with a bit of spam. get in touch with us. your thoughts on that and anything else on the programme. you can e—mail us, or getting touch on facebook or twitter. carol is at wimbledon and sally is outside with those preparing to watch andy murray and the rest again! good morning, sally. good morning, both of you. i don't think there's much spam here. i've looked around. everybody is starting to wa ke looked around. everybody is starting to wake up. you get woken by the stu d e nts to wake up. you get woken by the students at 6am. i've spotted some
6:14 am
organic yoghurt and granola. there's a chap eating his breakfast over there. not much spam, but a very good mood. everyone feeling rather chirpy. these guys have maybe got a chance of seeing andy murray play on centre court, so who could blame them? there are 39,000 people allowed into wimbledon over the road and these people at some of them, have been queueing for more than 24 hours, sleeping in tents and having a fine hours, sleeping in tents and having afine time! hours, sleeping in tents and having a fine time! we did set out tennis players a particular challenge on bbc breakfast. we've been doing the bbc breakfast. we've been doing the bbc breakfast. we've been doing the bbc breakfast mug. i was particularly rubbish. andy murray has set the trend so far, managing to get 14 tennis balls into our brea kfast to get 14 tennis balls into our breakfast mug in the space of 20 seconds. milos raonic one in —— won in straight sets yesterday.
6:15 am
lovely to see hugh. thanks for taking part in our challenge. you have 30 seconds to get as many balls in as possible. how are the nerves? i've faced bigger challenges but i probably feel more comfortable in them. let's give it a try, i've got it ready, get a ball in your hand, on your marks, get set, go. me lost is going for the quick succession approach. extreme concentration on the face, he is barely blinking, how many balls as he hit so far? i'm not looking that way. had 12 seconds and so far. at least 20 balls already. coming upfor20 so far. at least 20 balls already. coming up for 20 seconds. he's smiling, he is getting relaxed now, is that better? how many have we got now? 24 seconds, five seconds left. we'll see how many he's got in at the end. we'll do a quick count. the
6:16 am
mug is actually quite deep, you may be able to reach it with your extremely long arms. would you like to count them out? it's not a big challenge to count these out. four balls. 4-balls in 30 seconds. there we re balls. 4-balls in 30 seconds. there were so many you couldn't see really deep under the mug. did you feel like you acquit yourself well, you happy with that performance?” like you acquit yourself well, you happy with that performance? i feel like if i knew about it i would have prepared better. a good point, thank you so much for taking part. no problem, thank you so much. shall we have a look at the all—important leaderboard? shall we have a look at the all—importa nt leaderboa rd ? there you can see happily at the very top, andy murray, how did he get 14? milos raonic, a really good effort. joe konta with two. plenty more of those coming up. it is really difficult. i might get some of these
6:17 am
people in the queue to have a go at it later, that could be interesting. before i go let me show you the back pages because there another big sports story, at the tour de france yesterday, we have pictures of mark cavendish, he was forced to leave the tour de france after an horrific fall, a terrible crash. peter sagan, very famous cyclist, has been banned for this tour, i know he has leave to appeal but mark cavendish has a broken shoulder. back page of the mirror, a fairly gruesome picture of mark cavendish yesterday, he said he is ok, peter sagan apologised to the tea m is ok, peter sagan apologised to the team boss, not sure how that conversation went. a wimbledon story on the back page of the times, wimbledon crackdown on gritters after two players yesterday, the opponents of djokovic and federer finished early because of injury. its controversial because for turning up and playing you get something like £35,000. both of the
6:18 am
players were injured and had to retire. the crowd on centre court we re retire. the crowd on centre court were disappointed as they were expecting to fantastic matches and they didn't get them yesterday so much more on that through the programme. 0n much more on that through the programme. on going to stay in the queue and look for some spam sandwiches but carol is inside wimbledon with the weather —— i'm going to stay. it is glorious, the temperature at wimbledon at the moment is around 17. if i give you a tour around, i'm above court 18, it fills up quite quickly because if you've got a ground pass you can come in here and you can see the queue is growing for this on a daily basis. behind it is the broadcast centre where reporters, journalists and presenters from all around the world gather to report on the events taking place at the championships. did you know it's been 90 years of bbc radio 4 at the championships and 80 years of bbc television? quite a record! this morning for wimbledon
6:19 am
it's a lovely start, the sun is out, as we go through the day that will continue, if anything it's going to turn hotter and much more due mid. the afternoon maximum, which isn't on this chart, will be around 28, 29 or even 30 in light winds —— more humid. there that in mind if you're coming down. for the next few days the forecast for all of us will be hot and the forecast for all of us will be hotand humid the forecast for all of us will be hot and humid —— there that in mind. 0r hot and humid —— there that in mind. or even warm depending on where you are. if we look around the country, blue skies in the south, already very pleasantly warm but as we go north there's a bit more cloud, yesterday's weather front, a decaying feature, but producing a fair bit of cloud and drizzle, some coastal hill fog as well and some of that could get into southern scotland. in northern scotland, a dry and sunny start and a chilly one. in northern ireland, a fine start, as it is in wales, north
6:20 am
wales seeing more cloud and in south—west england, a fine start. the outside chance of a shower but unlucky if you get one, and in southern counties back into the warm sunshine. through today what you will find is we will start to lose that cloud, especially from north—west england and south—west scotland. we will hang onto it more across the northeast and that will peg back the temperatures, feeling cooler in the north, around 14—17, hot and cooler in the north, around 14—17, hotand humid cooler in the north, around 14—17, hot and humid further south. anywhere from bristol, gloucestershire, london, high 20s, possibly hitting 30 and 30 is more likely in the south—east. through the evening and overnight we import thunderstorms overnight, coming up through the english channel and southern counties, at the same time we have a weather front across northern ireland and western scotla nd northern ireland and western scotland introducing some rain. temperature wise tonight, we're looking at lows of about ten to 18
6:21 am
celsius. tomorrow the thunderstorms will continue to drift north through the day, some of those will be heavy and thundery, torrential downpours. if you get one you will know about it and some big hail embedded in them, some will miss them all together and get some sunshine and the rain in the north—west will hit northern ireland, northern scotland and the england and the next band arrives in western scotland tomorrow. hot and humid arrives in western scotland tomorrow. hotand humid in arrives in western scotland tomorrow. hot and humid in the south. 0n tomorrow. hot and humid in the south. on friday, a dry day for most of us, showers in north—east england, a weather front waiting in the winds later for northern ireland but a lot of sunshine and temperatures still on the muggy side in the south with 28, 29 or 30. temperatures still on the muggy side in the south with 28,29 or 30. in the north, things will be a bit fresher, more comfortable but certainly by no means cold. it's really turned out nice for wimbledon. thanks very much, carol, we will see you later. every morning we will see you later. every morning we have been there this week it has been lovely! plenty more from
6:22 am
wimbledon through the morning. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. the main stories this morning: grenfell tower survivors have expressed their frustration at the authorities, saying questions still aren't being answered and no—one has been arrested. north korea is warned by the usa and south korea that war can't be ruled out after pyongyang's intercontinental ballistic missile test. let's return to the main story this morning. it was one of the key promises from theresa may in the wake of the grenfell tower tragedy, that all survivors would be rehoused in quality accommodation by today. despite that pledge, only nine offers have been accepted and many families are still living in hotels. so, three weeks after that devastating fire, why are so many people still not living in a place they can call home? frankie mccamley went to meet one man and his 10—year—old daughter and sent this report. you feel better? yes.
6:23 am
this man and his daughter and his wife lived on the 15th floor of g re nfell tower. wife lived on the 15th floor of grenfell tower. they've now been living in a hotel for three weeks. it's not comfortable and it doesn't feel like home. i miss my room and all the memories i had, my baby albums, i miss them a lot. my daughter... she's losing her focus because this isn't her place, not her room, not her life. i find it ha rd to her room, not her life. i find it hard to sleep, i have nightmares about if it happens again, if i wake up about if it happens again, if i wake up and! about if it happens again, if i wake up and i see fire in the building.” feel like useless. i feel i have no power to take away all this pain
6:24 am
from her. if! power to take away all this pain from her. if i could, i would, power to take away all this pain from her. if i could, iwould, i would take all the pain and put it on me. the families say they have received calls of support from local services but what they really want is for someone to visit them. the people in my building, they were very close to me and they were like family and seeing them go wasn't good. be brave, you're so brave. as the family struggle to come to terms with what happened, they say they have been offered a two bedroom flat just over a mile away, but sid—ali says it's too far from hayam's school and it's not big enough. they need to see us as a victim and treat us with dignity, not anything else.
6:25 am
this is so frustrating. it's very bad, it's very bad. three weeks they haven't found a solution. the council says it's made 139 offers of accommodation to grenfell tower residents, nine of which have been accepted. it says the three—week target of offering temporary homes to those affected has been met, but for this family the money and support they've been offered has simply not been good enough. their putting a price on us, they give £5,000 each and £500, is that the value of lives? i want this to finish. that's what i need, my dignity. have you got any faith in their services any more? no, i have faith in the residence, i have faith in the community, i have faith in the people who live their lives...
6:26 am
my faith is there, my faith is there. that gives you a clear idea of how people are feeling. just after 7am this morning we'll be speaking to spokeswoman of the grenfell fire response team. we will put some of those thoughts from that father to her, especially being treated like numbers, not names, about not being treated with dignity. we will talk about all thoseissues dignity. we will talk about all those issues later. in about ten minutes we will have more information on the escalating tensions in north korea and the latest missile test and also we will be back at wimbledon for all the sport. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm katharine carpenter. 15 fire engines and more than 85 firefighters and officers have been called to a fire at a school on craven walk in stamford hill, north london. half of the basement and part of the ground floor is alight in the three and four—storey building. the brigade was called just before midnight. the school is believed to have
6:27 am
been empty at the time. the cause of the fire is not known at this stage. nearly 40 police station front counters could close to the public by the end of october, according to plans being considered by the mayor. conservatives on the london assembly have accused sadiq khan of not being transparent about the plans. city hall have said he's been forced into the decision due to government cuts. we're having to look into closing down police stations, we're having to look into reducing the number of front counters, we're even having to look into cutting the number of police officers. my priority is keeping london's faith and keep the number of front line officers, but i'm afraid as a consequence of government cuts there is no alternative. let's have a look at the travel situation now. 0n the tube, we've already got severe delays on the piccadilly line between acton town and uxbridge because of a signal failure but no problems elsewhere.
6:28 am
0n the trains there are five platfroms out of action at waterloo because of a signal failure. some trains are terminating early or being cancelled. southern and the gatwick express are still running reduced services because of an overtime ban by the aslef union. 0n the roads there are still those problems around grosvenor gardens in victoria which we saw causing delays yesterday, it's down to one lane for emergency gas works. in surbiton victoria road is closed northbound near the station because of an oil spillage. and in stamford hill clapton common is partly blocked near to craven walk because of the fire. let's have a check on the weather now with lucy martin. hello, good morning. a hot and sunny day on the way today, temperatures a touch warmer than yesterday but as we move into tomorrow the risk of heavy, thundery showers. as such we have a yellow a weather warning in place, not everyone catching those showers but if you see one they have the potential to be heavy. to the detail on the map, plenty of blue skies and sunshine around, a bit of cloud bubbling up here and there, particularly the further north you
6:29 am
are and temperatures today feeling warm with highs around 30 in central london with light winds, feeling really warm. three this evening some late spells of sunshine and then through the night starting to see a bit of cloud pushing in from the south—west. 0ne bit of cloud pushing in from the south—west. one or two showers to look out for as we move through the early hours but a fairly muggy night with overnight lows of 17 or 18. as we start the day tomorrow, a bit more in the way of cloud and that's when we have the risk of seeing one or two of those isolated and potentially thundery showers, don't ta ke potentially thundery showers, don't take the positioning to literally, eve ryo ne take the positioning to literally, everyone seeing the potential of seeing one of those, highs of around 28 or 29 but perhaps feeling a touch warmer and muggier tomorrow. the outlook, plenty of sunshine today but the risk of an isolated and thundery shower tomorrow. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin.
6:30 am
we'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment. but also on breakfast this morning: think of snapchat and you probably think of these, fun filters. we'll look at how a new feature causing concern among some child safety campaigners. last year, milos raonic couldn't match andy murray's record in our game set mug challenge, so how will tennis fans get on in the ground? we'll go live, with the mug, to find out later. and we'll be finding out how it feels to be pregnant in one of the remotest parts of the uk, where the nearest hospital is sometimes hundreds of miles away. all that still to come. but now a summary of this morning's main news. survivors of the grenfell tower disaster have expressed their frustration with a lack of information during a meeting last
6:31 am
night with the police and the westminster coroner. a senior officer was asked why there hadn't been any arrests. the coroner reportedly described the scene inside the building as "apocalyptic". the majority of survivors remain in hotels, despite today's deadline set by the prime minister for everybody affected to be found a home nearby. we'll be speaking to the spokeswoman of the grenfell fire response team atjust after 7am this morning. we will put forward some of those questions, which we have been hearing from any family members and those who survived. those questions in about 40 minutes. victims of harassment and stalking in england and wales are being left at risk because of failings by police and prosecutors, according to an official report. two watchdogs found that crimes weren't being recorded, investigations were poorly conducted and legal protection wasn't offered to enough victims. they examined 112 cases in detail and concluded that none had been dealt with well.
6:32 am
officers and prosecutors were identifying cases in isolation, whereas by its very nature both stalking and harassment occurs as a result of really pernicious and persistent offending and officers and prosecutors were missing that, which meant that victims were left at risk. the us and south korea havejointly warned north korea that war can't be ruled out, following pyongyang's intercontinental ballistic missile test on tuesday. the two countries' most senior officers based in south korea said self restraint was a choice, which could change at any time. north korea has quoted its leader kim jong—un taunting the us, calling its missile test a gift to the americans on their independence day. saudi arabia is the biggest foreign promoter of islamist extremism in the uk, according to a foreign policy think tank. the henry jackson society accuses
6:33 am
saudi individuals and foundations of exporting "an illiberal, bigoted ideology" and calls for the uk government's secret report into extremism to be made public. the saudi embassy in london has called the allegations "categorically false". students starting their studies in england this september can expect to graduate with average debts of more than £50,000. that's according to a report by the institute for fiscal studies, which also indicates that students from the poorest backgrounds will leave university with the highest debts. the study‘s authors described the new 6.1% interest rates on student loans as "very high". the department of education declined to comment. the rationing of nhs treatments such as hip, knee and cataract operations, as well as mental health services, has increased significantly in england over the past four years according to a study published in the british medicaljournal. growing financial pressure
6:34 am
and increased demand for services has led some areas to withdraw funding for some procedures, leading to what doctors describe as a growing postcode lottery. it was party time in the usa yesterday, as america celebrated the fourth of july. lots of firework displays, flags and the annual hot—dog eating contest in comey island. that fellow is the defending champion, joey chestnut, who won his tenth title by downing 72 frankfurters in ten minutes! straight down the hatch! that's disgusting. that's disgusting. that's not just that's disgusting. that's notjust the meat, it is the bread as well. you would not want to travel back with him after that. you're appalled by that!
6:35 am
iam. sally you're appalled by that! i am. sally is at wimbledon today and has lots of challenges for people in the queue as well. here is the mug. we are going to make people here play game, set mug. we haven't warned them just how tough it is. i don't know about you two, what if you were offered £35,000 to walk onto a tennis court, hit a few balls with novak djokovic or federer, would you do it? yes! of course you would! well, disappointing if you were a fan on centre court yesterday because that's what happened. a couple of players played yesterday, but they got cut short. we've got andy murray to look forward to today. he is playing dustin brown, from germany. but those gains were cut short. novak djokovic and federer have spoken out, saying perhaps it is time to change the rules. 0ne spoken out, saying perhaps it is
6:36 am
time to change the rules. one player lasted only 40 minutes against novak djokovic before his injury proved too much. so a real disappointment for centre crowd. another player was forced off with an ankle injury. federer and novak djokovic said they could go back out together and play a practice that, because they had so little time on the grass court. there was more controversy after australian bernard tomic said he was "bored" during his straight—sets defeat to mischa zverev. he also admitted to using a medical time—out to try to slow down the match, which could earn him a fine. after going out in the first round for four years in a row, kyle edmund finally made it through to round two when he beat his fellow brit alex ward. he is on the programme with us here later. and women's world number one angelique kerber is through, after beating american qualifier irina falconi. kerber was runner up last year to serena williams. mark cavendish is out of the tour de
6:37 am
france after a crash at the end of yesterday's fourth stage. world champion peter sagan was disqualified for elbowing cavendish, although his team have appealed against the decision. cavendish broke his shoulder and needed stitches in his hand. rangers have suffered one of the worst defeats in their history. leading 1—0 from the first leg at ibrox, they were knocked out of the europa league by a part—time team from luxembourg and they lost 2—0 on the night, 2—1 on aggregate. billy monger, the teenage racing driver involved in a crash earlier this year which saw him lose his legs, has driven a hand controlled race car at brands hatch. it was the first time he'd driven since the accident 11 weeks ago. an online campaign went viral, raising almost £1 million his rehabilitation. great to see. right now we have two volunteers. good morning! you haven't had any chance to practise? let me ask, how
6:38 am
long have you been in miscue? we got here at about 2:30 yesterday afternoon. so you've had a night in the tent, how did that go? not much sleep, but the atmosphere is amazing, so we don't feel too tired this morning. are you sure? yes, ready to go! here is a tennis racquet each, these are the tennis balls. you are precise distance away from the mug and you've got 30 seconds. you will both go at the same time. both at the same time is i think the best. i'm going to get out of the way and we are going to start the timing. three, two, one, go! too far! nearly! go on. can i give you a tip? 0verrun. yes! —— over arm. it hit the cameraman! you
6:39 am
need danger money. let's check the timing. how are we for timing? are we nearly there? done. 30 seconds, done. come on, girls. come with me. how do you think you did? terrible. it wasn't my best performance.” think you should get a bonus point for hitting the cameraman. you've done well! there were two of you, but you got three in. the british number one got two. wow. i think you've done really well. game, set, mug, congratulations. iwould you've done really well. game, set, mug, congratulations. i would like to sell —— tell you we could give you a mug, but we don't have. who are you hoping to see today? hopefully andy murray. either way the atmosphere will be amazing. did you get any indication as to what
6:40 am
the timing would be? when you get in you get a card and that has a number on itand you get a card and that has a number on it and i think 0—500 is centre and after 500 is called number one. we are 550 and 551. so we don't know. you've done brilliantly. that is pretty impressive, three, and we didn't even let the practice for a moment! congratulations. thanks very much. back to you. very impressive! three in 30 seconds! i wonder if they will get onto the leaderboard. andy murray is on 14. he was very impressive. i think he is going to win. am beatable! let's go back to one of our main stories. war can't be ruled out — that was the message coming out of the united states last night, after it confirmed that north korea had tested an intercontinental ballistic missile.
6:41 am
so, why is pyongyang pursuing nuclear weapons capabilities? let's speak to adam cathcart, lecturer in chinese history at the university of leeds, who has written extensively on north korea. good morning. we know kimjong—un personally supervised this and he said it was a gift to america on independence day. what are north korea's intentions? they've remained consistent, despite the shocking, electric response that these things tend to create, which they intend to create, in the us and outside north korea. but they are consistent in the sense of national defence and building up the kimjong—un cold, showing he can defend the country against the mightiest superpower in the us. —— kimjong—un cult. it is about creating a strong nuclear deterrent and that the technical aspect that has the us worried. you
6:42 am
talk about a nuclear deterrent because there is a difference between that and a nuclear attack. that's the concern, for the us, isn't it? they say this could mean more. is that where we are at? big it's been that way since 1953, in the sense that at the end of the korean war, american troops remained in south korea. 38,000 troops. china has remained loosely affiliated with north korea, so you've got a proxy war, and anything can happen along the demilitarised zone at any time. so the question for me is whether this technical leap that they've made, this provocation, whether it will turn into a more tense and perhaps kinetic situation along the dinner at the perhaps kinetic situation along the dinnerat the —— perhaps kinetic situation along the dinner at the —— demilitarised zone. in terms of the technology, this is what we've heard last night and this morning, this intercontinental ballistic missile which apparently can reach alaska, in terms of the
6:43 am
steps they need to make, they still need to make the warheads small enough to get on the top of this rocket and then the technology enables them to re—enter the earth's atmosphere, so they are still way away? they may be trained to move in that direction. they are demonstrating and highlighting for the world at every step that they are making progress on all of these areas. the question is whether they can pay for it and continue to pay for these things, given the imbalances in the economy, tightening sanctions and the rest. talk about china, if you would for we know president trump is talking to china as well. what difference could china's role make? they can support sanctions of the un. they are stakeholder and have been and have strong words for north korea. but if you go to the chinese border with north korea, as i do every year, you will find that sanction
6:44 am
enforcement is sporadic and there are enforcement is sporadic and there a re lots of enforcement is sporadic and there are lots of areas of connectivity. so it's difficult to say. a great example is the truck from which this missile was launched was manufacturing china. how did this get across? who is making money off this? to china has strong words from north korea and chinese people themselves are quite upset at north korea often. but ultimately china's national interest appears to be to continue to play north korea against the south koreans and the americans. what will the feeling be in south korea? my understanding from talking to people in seoul is that things are to people in seoul is that things a re less to people in seoul is that things are less tense there than they are here in some ways because it's a state of normal. dot. not a normal occurrence, but they are used to dealing with the american threat. they have a new president who
6:45 am
recently they have a new president who rece ntly m et they have a new president who recently met with president trump and he is open to talks with north korea. but they are not open to stopping joint military exercises. so kim jong—un has a stopping joint military exercises. so kimjong—un has a difficult needle to thread here, if he is going to try to make peace with the south koreans for throwing these missiles towards japan every so often. very insightful. thank you. we are talking about spam today, spam is 80 years old would you believe? not this ten, this one is fresh! you will be cracking it open later on! thanks for your recipes and all of your facts coming later on! thanks for your recipes and all of yourfacts coming in. did you know... there will be a whole day of this! there are 13 varieties of spam, two of those righties were introduced to celebrate the 75th anniversary, black pepper and jalapeno —— varieties. you can get
6:46 am
bacon spam, cheese spam and roasted turkey flavour spam. lots of people saying how popular it is in hawaii. every single year in april they all get together in honolulu and they have the spam jam to celebrate all things spam. how are we going to eat hours? with a spoon. can't wait! good morning, carol! good morning. no spam here, that's for sure, we've come to the south concourse at wimbledon and you can see behind me centre court, there's lots of entrances, this is the south—west one, but look at this, this is resplendent in the morning sunshine, the members enclosure here and the competitors complex, the flowers are there, dark green and purple with the white introduced in 1909, the previous colours were identical with the royal marines and that's why they were changed, they
6:47 am
we re that's why they were changed, they were blue, yellow and red and the windows at the top being cleaned this morning so they are sparkly for later. they will be because the sunshine is out, the temperature here is rising and it will continue to rise a bit as we go through the day. the forecast is dry at wimbledon today. a lot of sunshine and if you're coming down then bear that in mind and it will turn the mid—as we go through the day, but maximum temperatures of 28 and 29 or even as high as 30 —— turn humid. warm in the south. as we go through the day, in southern counties, lots of sunshine, beautiful start, pleasa ntly warm of sunshine, beautiful start, pleasantly warm already with a light breeze. as we go north across england, a little bit more cloud until we get to the north of england where we've got a weather front producing drizzle, coastal mist and hill fog. that extends into southern
6:48 am
scotland, northern scotland will be dry, bright and sunny abe chilly start and dry, bright and sunny abe chilly startand in dry, bright and sunny abe chilly start and in northern ireland, also a fine start —— and sunny, a chilly start. an absolute outside chance in the south—west you could see some thundery showers but you would be unlucky if you catch one. as we go further towards southern counties, back into the sunshine with temperatures continuing to romp up quickly. through the course of the day the weather front dangling across southern scotland and northern england will continue to break up, especially in south—west scotla nd break up, especially in south—west scotland and north—west england. in north—east england and south—east scotla nd north—east england and south—east scotland we will hang onto this. temperatures across england and wales, the mid—to—high 20 is, especially in the south. in north wales and northern england, scotland and northern ireland, that little bit lower. through the evening and
6:49 am
overnight we will start importing thunderstorms across southern counties, some will be heavy. a new weather front will show its hand across western scotland and northern ireland by the end of the night, introducing rain. temperature wise, ten to 11. tomorrow the rain in the north rattles through quickly and later another weather front comes to the west of scotland, thunderstorms push north through the day. some of those will be torrential with large hail in them but a lot will miss them all together, staying dry, hot, sunny and humid. again tomorrow there's the potential for temperatures to reach 30 in parts of southern england. as we head into friday, a lot of dry weather, fair bit of sunshine around, still hot and humid in the south—east, 29 or 30 possible, showers in noughties england and later in the day the next system shows its hand, coming into northern ireland introducing some rain —— north—east england. if
6:50 am
you like it hot and sticky, we're certainly in for that especially in southern areas. thanks, carol, we will see you later and more from sally later with some game, set, mug in the queue. nobody in the queue is going to get angry my‘s record. in the queue is going to get angry my's record. 14 in 30 seconds! -- andy murray's record. it's ten years to the day since interest rates last went up. since they've hit record lows, ben's been looking at what it means for us. interest rates are set every month by the bank of england. but the last time they went up was ten years ago today. since then they've hit record lows. i've been looking at why. the cost of borrowing affects us all. it determines what we pay for our mortgage, how credit cards and loa ns. our mortgage, how credit cards and loans. it also sets the way that we get interest on any savings. take a
6:51 am
look at the last ten years and one thing is pretty clear, rates have been going in one direction and that's down, and it all began at the height of the financial crisis. the uk economy was put on emergency light support to keep it ticking over while the world's financial system was in turmoil. between 2008 and 2009, rates were slashed from nearly 6% to just 0.5% and they've been at those record lows for a very long time. just when people thought rates might start going up again, the brexit vote created even more economic uncertainty and so rates we re economic uncertainty and so rates were slashed again in august last year to just were slashed again in august last year tojust 0.25%. low were slashed again in august last year to just 0.25%. low interest rates mean it's cheaper for businesses to borrow a to invest or expand, and it also means cheaper mortgages, loans and credit cards
6:52 am
for all of us. but at what cost? it's bad news for savers, they've lost out with record low returns and low interest rates tend to push up inflation, so that means higher prices for everyone. let's talk to doctorjohn glen from cra nfield school of management. in that explanation i've touched on why interest rates have done what they have, i described it as life—support for the economy and it was. if we think back to 2008 the economy was in turmoil and the bank of england needed to do something and this is something they could do. the economy was collapsing, we made the extreme decision to cut interest rates to historically low levels, that allow growth so at the back of 2010 and the back of 2012 the economy grew as strongly as any economy grew as strongly as any economy globally as a result of our decision. rates have been so low
6:53 am
since march 2009, it's incredible they have been at that level and a whole generation of borrowers who have never seen an interest rate rise? 2.5 million households who have mortgages have never seen an increase in that mortgage rate, so they are used to paying low rates of interest and if interest rates increased significantly that would impact their household budgets in a meaningful way. for people who have never seen that increase it would come as a big shock, the amount they are paying each month on their mortgage, credit card or loan would go up? yes, but we have to be realistic, if we saw 0.5% increase that would be something most households could cope with, if we went back to the 5% interest rate we we re went back to the 5% interest rate we were paying ten years ago that would be an enormous strain on household budgets. where are we? america has started raising its interest rate and there's pressure on other countries to do the same and the
6:54 am
bank of england, a few on the ratesetting committee think it is time? the vote in june was 5/3, people are starting to think that it's time to increase interest rates. we are seeing an economy that is very close to full employment, there are dangers of inflation because of brexit and increased import prices but on the other hand we are seeing relatively poor growth of around we are seeing relatively poor growth ofaround1.5% we are seeing relatively poor growth of around 1.5% this year and next year so the worry about growth at the minute is overriding worry is the minute is overriding worry is the bank of england has about inflation. i want to talk about inflation. i want to talk about inflation because that is starting to creep up and cheap money means we will spend and that is pushing up prices, the flipside as i mentioned in the report. it is but at the at the moment the inflation is being caused by a reduction in the value of the pound and external factors, although external prices have abated recently but at the moment the bank of england things on balance the
6:55 am
inflation worries are less than the worry about growth going forward. what happens next, when do rates start to go up? they start to go up when the economy starts to recover, we see an amount of recovery when we have recovered from brexit uncertainty at the end of 2018 and you might see one or two minor increases over that period, but it will be posted 2018 before we actually see any significant increases in interest rates —— post—2018. increases in interest rates —— post-2018. thanks very much, john glenn. more about that from me after 7am. see you then. thanks very much indeed, ben. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. still to come this morning: we will be back at wimbledon. that's not a re—enactment of the battle of hastings, that is the wimbledon queue preparing to get in on day three of the wimbledon championships. and once again it is extremely orderly. we do love a clea n extremely orderly. we do love a clean line! time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news,
6:56 am
i'm katharine carpenter. almost 100 firefighters have spent the night tackling a majorfire almost 100 firefighters have spent the night tackling a major fire at a jewish school in north london. half of the basement and part of the ground floor is alight the brigade was called just before midnight. the school is believed to have been empty at the time. the cause of the fire is not known at this stage. nearly 40 police station front counters could close to the public by the end of october, according to plans being considered by the mayor. conservatives on the london assembly have accused sadiq khan of not being transparent about the plans. city hall have said he's been forced into the decision due to government cuts. we're having to look into closing down police stations. we're having to look into reducing the number of front counters, we're even having to look into cutting the number of police officers.
6:57 am
my priority is keeping londoners safe and keep the number of front line officers, but i'm afraid as a consequence of government cuts there is no alternative. carers in the capital are to be £2 million help to get more education and into work. there are nearly 700 thousand londoners who care for loved ones, at a cost to their own work and home life. the carers trust charity set up the scheme and say the three year programme will give unpaid carers one—on—one support and links to employers. let's have a look at the travel situation now. 0n the tube, we've already got severe delays on the piccadilly line between acton town and uxbridge because of a signal failure but no problems elsewhere. 0n the trains there are five platfroms out of action at waterloo because of a signal failure. some trains are terminating early or being cancelled. 0n the roads there are still those problems around grosvenor gardens in victoria which we saw causing delays yesterday, it's down to one lane for emergency gas works. in surbiton victoria road is closed northbound near the station because of an oil spillage. and in stamford hill clapton common is partly blocked near to craven walk because of the fire. let's have a check on the weather
6:58 am
now with lucy martin. hello, good morning. a hot and sunny day on the way today, temperatures a touch warmer than yesterday but as we move into tomorrow the risk of heavy, thundery showers. as such we have a yellow a weather warning in place, not everyone catching those showers but if you see one they have the potential to be heavy. to the detail on the map, plenty of blue skies and sunshine around, a bit of cloud bubbling up here and there, particularly the further north you are and temperatures today feeling warm with highs around 30 in central london with light winds, feeling really warm. through this evening some late spells of sunshine and then through the night starting to see a bit of cloud pushing in from the south—west. one or two showers to look out for as we move through the early hours but a fairly muggy night with overnight lows of 17 or 18. as we start the day tomorrow, a bit more in the way of cloud and that's when we have the risk of seeing one or two of those isolated and potentially thundery showers,
6:59 am
don't take the positioning to literally, everyone seeing the potential of seeing one of those, highs of around 28 or 29 but perhaps feeling a touch warmer and muggier tomorrow. the outlook, plenty of sunshine today but the risk of an isolated and thundery shower tomorrow. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now, though, it's back to dan and louise. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. anger and frustration as the government deadline to rehouse all g re nfell tower government deadline to rehouse all grenfell tower survivors parsers. government deadline to rehouse all grenfell tower survivors pa rsers. —— passes. many are still in hotels. i miss my broom —— room. passes. many are still in hotels. i miss my broom -- room. my daughter is losing her focus. after an angry meeting last night with the police,
7:00 am
residents say their questions still aren't being answered. whatever it is, we want to know exactly what it is. do not hide anything. good morning, it's wednesday july 5th. also this morning: victims of stalking and harassment are being left at risk, because of failings by police and prosecutors. a new report blames poor investigations and a lack of legal protection. an average debt of more than £50,000 for university students in england. a new report says they'll be paying it off into their 50s. it's ten years to the day since the cost of borrowing last went up. they've been at record lows since then, but why and what does it mean for borrowers, savers and the economy? hello from wimbledon. some of these lucky people might get
7:01 am
to see andy murray on centre court later today. that's after two of his main rivals said there may have to be the rule change after their opponents retired early due to injury. and mark cavendish is out of the tour de france. he had a collision with peter sagan, who has been disqualified from the race. and the sun is beating down. temperatures in the south of england at the moment are 16 celsius. in the north of scotland, in the sunshine, only four degrees. a real contrast. hot and only four degrees. a real contrast. hotand humid only four degrees. a real contrast. hot and humid in the south, only four degrees. a real contrast. hotand humid in the south, and only four degrees. a real contrast. hot and humid in the south, and we have a weather front producing cloud and drizzle in northern england. that will improve through the day. more in 15 minutes. see you later. and sally will be back with the sport later. first, our main story. most of the families who lost their homes in the devastating grenfell tower fire are still living in hotels,
7:02 am
despite government pledges to rehouse them all by today. there was also anger and frustration at a meeting with police and the westminster coroner last night, where residents demanded to know why there have been no arrests. the coroner is said to have described the scene inside the building as "apocalyptic". nick quraishi reports. this was the first opportunity for families to put their questions directly to police and the westminster coroner. one reason this private meeting lasted more than 3.5 hours. it's understood relatives were told in graphic detail the challenge that forensic teams are facing in even trying to find dna which could identify loved ones. they say the information they are getting isn't good enough. we personally asked, where is our family? we want to know, is our families' bodies still there? is there anything from them? whatever it is, we want to know exactly what it is, do not hide anything. and the answers that were coming back were, "we don't know, we don't know, we don't know." today is the deadline
7:03 am
set by theresa may to rehouse the 158 families made homeless by the disaster. according to the grenfell response team, that target has been met, with 139 formal offers made, butjust nine have been accepted. lawyers for survivors say most of the accommodation is simply unsuitable. my my daughter, she is losing herfocus because it's not her place. they need something suitable for them. something with dignity. that's what we are looking. —— for. three weeks after the tragedy, police still maintain their investigation will be exhaustive and will bring the answers that the families desperately deserve, however long it takes. many questions still to be answered, not least why these families aren't in permanent accommodation at the
7:04 am
moment. we'll be speaking to the spokeswoman of the grenfell fire response team atjust after 7am this morning. victims of harassment and stalking in england and wales are being left at risk because of failings by police and prosecutors, according to an official report. two watchdogs found that crimes weren't being recorded, investigations were poorly conducted and legal protection wasn't offered to enough victims. they examined 112 cases in detail and concluded that none had been dealt with well. officers and prosecutors were identifying cases in isolation, whereas by its very nature both stalking and harassment occurs as a result of really pernicious and persistent offending and officers and prosecutors were missing that, which meant that victims were left at risk. the united states has confirmed that a weapon fired into the sea of japan by north korea was an intercontinental ballistic missile. in response, the us and south korea carried out a missile fire exercise. 0fficers
7:05 am
officers from the us and china said self restraint was the toys that could change at any time. for the latest, let's speak to our beijing correspondent stephen mcdonell. you hear the words used to describe the situation. things have certainly stepped up a notch.” the situation. things have certainly stepped up a notch. i think they have. there's no doubt about that at all. the realisation that north korea can reach alaska, although not the lower states of the us, clearly raises the stakes. what the military on the peninsular have been doing is warning with words, saying, as you say, that the difference between war and peace is self restraint and we can choose to change our decision on that. but also letting off live missiles into the ocean to the west of the country demonstrated that the
7:06 am
alliance has the firepower, should things turn from the armistice to full—blown war. so it's a serious matter. i don't think a red line, the famous red line, has been crushed —— crossed yet. back in january president trump said an intercontinental missile won't happen. as bluntly as that. this missile seems to be intercontinental, but it's not proven that they can get the warhead back into the atmosphere and it is not proven to be accurate. so we're not proven to be accurate. so we're not quite there yet, but the big question, and we don't know the answer, is whether president trump has ruled out war, like president 0bama did. police repeatedly failed a disabled refugee who sought their help before being murdered in bristol four years ago, according to a report by the independent police complaints commission. bijan ebrahimi made more than 80 calls to police, mainly to report racial abuse,
7:07 am
criminal damage and threats to kill. he was eventually beaten to death by a neighbour who wrongly believed he was a paedophile. avon and somerset police say they have made changes and have apologised to his family. the average student debt for graduates in england is set to rise to over £50,000. ben's joined us to tell us more. that's a lot of money and no doubt ta kes a that's a lot of money and no doubt takes a long time to pay that back? pretty stark figures this morning from the ifs, suggesting students will pay into their 50s before they start to make a dent into that debt they accumulate while at university. did you suggest that if you take out a loan to cover your student debts of about £45,000, that would cover you for about three or four years. you would end up paying about £51,000 by the time you put interest
7:08 am
on top of that, so understandably people will be paying it for a longtime. they also say it's a double whammy because there is a threshold at which you have to start paying it back and that's £21,000. that's not gone up, so more people are going to have to pay it. the really worrying finding is that the average interest rate is about 6.1%. that's how much you pay in interest. i've been talking this morning about how we have all been dealing with a record low interest rate. the bank of england is just 0.25%. record low interest rate. the bank of england isjust 0.25%. so record low interest rate. the bank of england is just 0.25%. so there's a big question about why student loa ns a re a big question about why student loans are charging 6.1%. a lot of money students have to pay back, paying well into their 50s, with the average debt reaching £51,000. that's a lot of barjobs. thank you. it was one of the key promises from theresa may in the wake of the grenfell tower tragedy — that all survivors would be rehoused
7:09 am
in quality accommodation by today. despite that pledge only nine offers have been accepted and many families are still living in hotels. so, three weeks after that devastating fire, why are so many people still not living in a place they can call home? in a moment we'll speak to eleanor kelly, from the grenfell response team, but first our reporter frankie mccamley went to meet one man who lived in the tower with his ten—year—old daughter. sid—ali and his daughter hayam and his wife lived on the 15th floor of g re nfell tower. they've now been living in a hotel for three weeks. it's not comfortable and it doesn't feel like home. i miss my room and all the memories i had, my baby albums, i miss them a lot. my daughter... she's losing her focus because this isn't her place,
7:10 am
not her room, not her life. i find it hard to sleep, i have nightmares about if it happens again, if i wake up and i see fire in the building. ifeel, like, useless. i feel i have no power to take away all this pain from her. if i could, i would, i would take all the pain and put it on me. the families say they have received calls of support from local services but what they really want is for someone to visit them. the people in my building, they were very close to me and they were like family and seeing them go wasn't good. as the family struggle to come to terms with what happened,
7:11 am
they say they have been offered a two bedroom flatjust over a mile away, but sid—ali says it's too far from hayam's school and it's not big enough. they need to see us as a victim and treat us with dignity, we're not numbers, we're not numbers. this is so frustrating. it's very bad, it's very bad. three weeks they haven't found a solution. the council says it's made 139 offers of accommodation to grenfell tower residents, nine of which have been accepted. it says the three—week target of offering temporary homes to those affected has been met, but for this family the money and support they've been offered has simply not been good enough. they're putting a price on us, they give £5,000 each and £500, is that the value of lives? i want this to finish.
7:12 am
that's what i need, my dignity. have you got any faith in their services any more? no, i have faith in the residence, i have faith in the community, i have faith in the people who live their lives... my faith is there, my faith is there. let's speak now to eleanor kelly, chief executive of southwark council and spokesperson of the grenfell fire response team. i know you were listening to that report and you really get a sense of what a predicament these people who lived in the tower are in. i understand you have made them an offer, but for this family it isn't a cce pta ble offer, but for this family it isn't acceptable because it isn't close to her school. when will you make offers that will be acceptable to these families? we are working our way through the offers to all of the
7:13 am
families and many families are now on their second or third offer. i think what your piece demonstrated is that there is an enormous emotional impact on people. it is just moving out of one home to look for another. that's why the level of a cce pta nces for another. that's why the level of acce pta nces a re for another. that's why the level of acceptances are now so low. it's now at 14. but it is very low because people don't want to move twice. they are looking for their permanent home and everybody would be able to understand that. your piece also demonstrates the need for a package of support, emotional, financial and social, around the people whose been made homeless and in many respects destitute from grenfell tower. just looking at the quote, i respect what you say, but you have missed the deadline. 0n the 28th ofjune will
7:14 am
who lost their home will be rehoused by the fifth ofjuly and in housing a cce pta ble by the fifth ofjuly and in housing acceptable to them. this isn't happening. the original target given by the pm was that all of the people who have lost their homes at g re nfell tower who have lost their homes at grenfell tower and grenfell walk would be offered suitable accommodation, matched to their housing needs, and that the process with gore through. 139 of the households have been offered the accommodation and 19 have not yet beenin accommodation and 19 have not yet been ina accommodation and 19 have not yet been in a position either with their family or themselves not to engage with the housing authorities at this time and that's understandable. i think the issue is about looking at the individualfamilies think the issue is about looking at the individual families and think the issue is about looking at the individualfamilies and looking at their decisions at this time. three weeks is not a longtime to recover. in terms of the offers that are made, people go to areas they
7:15 am
thought they wanted to go to and when they goes there they say, i can't come here. we have to understand that and be emotionally responsive to the fact that it will ta ke responsive to the fact that it will take people along time to really work through where they want to go. that's why very many of the families are choosing to stay in the emergency hotel accommodation for the moment and make a permanent move. we have to understand that and we have to deal with each individual family and their circumstances as appropriately and as sensitively as we can. are you doing it sensitively? we heard from the father, saying they've received calls. no one has visited them. i think the issue is in relation to... in terms of anybody who is breathed, they have a family liaison officer. —— bereaved. we know some people have chosen to have their key workers contact them by telephone and other people want to see them
7:16 am
face—to—face. the particular example you gave is one where we would have to look into why the key worker isn't visiting face—to—face. at the point that was made by the young girl in your programme is that she needs contact from the community. she wants contact from the surviving neighbours, to be able to be clear that they are not alone and they aren't the only people from their floor or building who survived and that's a really important point. they don't just that's a really important point. they don'tjust need contact from the authorities, they need contact and space and understanding as a community what are you going to do to help her with that crazy they are in accommodation that is in their home, how do you help them have that support, you seem to be putting it back on the community? i'm not doing that at all, the fact is we are working closely with call groups of community organisations to put that support in place and we're also
7:17 am
looking to see what facilities need to be provided in a much more nurturing and smaller and more community led space, rather than the facilities currently provided in the westway sports centre. when will these families be in permanent accommodation that they find acceptable, that they're happy with? when you're dealing with 158 families, of which only 14 have currently accepted the temporary accommodation, you have to factor in it goes at the pace of each individualfamily. it it goes at the pace of each individual family. it isn't just about identification of appropriate properties in kensington and the, westminster, hammersmith and fulham, it's about going at the pace of each individual as to what it is that they want for themselves —— kensington and chelsea council be that's the important point and that's the important point and that's why you can't put a timeframe on itand that's why you can't put a timeframe on it and rushing people, it's about understanding the impact on these
7:18 am
families —— kensington and the. it's about making the right decisions and doing the right thing to help them move forward. let's be clear, these people will need emotional and social support for a long time. thanks very much for your time on brea kfast. we want to know your response as well. you can contact us on twitter, social media and facebook. carol is at wimbledon, hot and humid for many parts of the uk overnight, in those lonely corridors between the outside courts? that's right. hot and the outside courts? that's right. hotand humid the outside courts? that's right. hot and humid today for many southern areas in particular but let me show you court ten, just in time, the ground staff are busy pulling back the cover. 0n the outside courts there are six members of the team, the court attendants, who pull back the covers and it takes them
7:19 am
between a minute and a minute and a half, its a boom system so they use real brute force and they're doing a fine job, real brute force and they're doing a finejob, done so neatly! if you're on centre court or court one, there are 17 groundstaff that do it, it's are 17 groundstaff that do it, it's a different system, a tent cover, they grab hold of the handles and they grab hold of the handles and they run with it after the net has been dropped. the record time they have done that in is i believe 17 seconds. it's done on a numerical basis, from zero to eight, if it is zero the groundstaff know it will be sunny, nothing to worry about but the minute it changes to one they are on standby and when it gets to two, the umpire can stop play because of a light shower. no light showers in the forecast today, what we have is a dry day with a lot of sunshine. increasingly it will be hot and it will be humid. maximum temperatures at wimbledon are likely to hit 28 or
7:20 am
29, maybe even 30 in light winds so if you're coming down, bear that in mind, slip, slap, slop. for most todayit mind, slip, slap, slop. for most today it will be humid and warm in the coming days but a cool stuff for some, but not in the south, at 9am 20 in london and ipswich in the morning sunshine. as we drift across the midlands, sunshine into northern england, more cloud, a weatherfront is decaying but still producing drizzle, especially in north—east england and some hill fog and coastal fog and that cloud extends into southern scotland. northern scotla nd into southern scotland. northern scotland is co—, only four at the moment but sunny. in northern ireland, a brilliant start if you like it sunny and pleasantly warm, temperature continuing to rise. north wales, more cloud, breaking up in the morning, south wales and south—west england back into the sunshine. an outside chance in south—west england of a thundery shower this morning but consider yourself lucky if you do. drifting
7:21 am
from gloucestershire to dorset, hampshire, buckinghamshire, berkshire, back into the sunshine and rising temperatures. through the day where we have the weather front in northern england and southern scotla nd in northern england and southern scotland it will break up, brighten up, especially in south—west scotla nd up, especially in south—west scotland and north—west england so the temperature will rise here but where we hang on to more cloud in the north—east or south—east of scotla nd the north—east or south—east of scotland we are looking at lower temperatures and feeling chillier. highs today at 230 in the south of england, in the north of scotland, northern ireland, in the sunshine, high teens or the low 20s. through this evening and overnight we import thunderstorms from the near continent, especially later in the night. also a weather front coming in across northern ireland and west scotla nd in across northern ireland and west scotland introducing rain. tomorrow that rain quite quickly with across scotla nd that rain quite quickly with across scotland and northern ireland and then another system comes into the west. also thunderstorms in the south travelling north. some of those will be torrential downpours
7:22 am
with large hail embedded in them, some of us will miss them all together and have a hot and humid and sunny day but temperature wise we are still in the area of 30, somewhere across southern england and south wales too. as we head into friday, the thunderstorm risk diminishes, one or two first thing in the south—east but that's it, thenit in the south—east but that's it, then it will be largely dry and sunny. some showers in north—east england and later in the day the next system shows its hand across northern ireland. still in the high 20s in the south but more co mforta ble 20s in the south but more comfortable for the rest of the uk. thank you very much, carol. it looks glorious. back with you later. very busy getting everything ready and sally will later be talking about a bit of wimbledon controversy, people have been dropping out early, you get £35,000 forjust turning up to wimbledon. players are injured and then they still go and they still play. they know they have a bad back, they go, take the muggy,
7:23 am
retire halfway through the second set, happened to djokovic and federer yesterday —— take the money. quite a few fans have been moaning about that. feel free. we like to be the conduit for your moaning. send it our way and we will pass it on to sally. if you are in need of certain operations or require access to mental health services then you may find that they're no longer routinely funded in some areas in england. that's according to a freedom of information request published in the british medicaljournal. it shows there's been a surge in the number of funding requests that doctors are now being forced to make on behalf of their patients. here to discuss the issue further is gp doctor fari ahmed. thank you so much forjoining us. you assume some of these things are routine, but is it changing? yes, thatis routine, but is it changing? yes, that is the short answer. there's not enough money and ccgs all over
7:24 am
the uk having to make decisions about what to fund and whatnot the uk having to make decisions about what to fund and what not to fund. individual funding requests we re fund. individual funding requests were a special way of accessing treatments or medication that aren't routine, if you have a case for it you apply to the people that hold the purse strings and you say this is the case and the reasons, can we make an exception for this person? they were good but what seems to be happening now is for things that wouldn't normally need special requests, like hips and knees, people in some areas are having to do that. is it coming down to funding essentially? again it is a funding essentially? again it is a funding issue? yes. the reality is eve ryo ne funding issue? yes. the reality is everyone knows there's not enough money in the nhs, we can't fund everything for everybody all the time and we don't have any politicians or people brave enough to say we can't fund everything so there are all these little smoke and mirrors and ways of not funding certain things in certain areas and what we actually need is someone to
7:25 am
say at nhs england, look, this is what we can fund and this is what we can't, let's be honest and tell people. for example if you're in one area you would get your knee or hip operation but somewhere else you wouldn't? we are back to postcode lottery again. it's not transparent, it's not clear why. .. lottery again. it's not transparent, it's not clear why... there's not enough money for everything in the nhs, we all understand that, but how does it get allocated and who makes those decisions? it is supposedly left u p those decisions? it is supposedly left up to clinical groups but if they don't get enough money to fund what they need then something has to be funded and something isn't. frustrating for patients as it is frustrating for you, and more work forgps? frustrating for you, and more work for gps? yes. if somebody needs an individualfunding request for gps? yes. if somebody needs an individual funding request then you have a huge mound of paperwork and they are tiresome to fill out and you need the input of other people and you need to build a case for
7:26 am
your patient and then it goes in front of a panel and a ss it and look at it and they consider the funding. in the meantime the patient is left in limbo —— assess it. you're still their gp and you have to help them with what's going on and there's all sorts of knock on effects. if it's an operation for their knee or hip then they are still in pain, you want the physio to see them and they still see you and it's got psychological effects on them, work, family, huge! we have to deal with it because we are front—line. to deal with it because we are front-line. thanks for coming to talk to us. another funding issue for the talk to us. anotherfunding issue for the nhs, we seem to get at least a few a day! i hope somebody is listening to it and they will make some changes! thanks so much! you're watching breakfast from bbc news. still to come this morning: think of snapchat and you probably think of these, fun filters, but we'll have more on a new feature causing concern among some child
7:27 am
safety campaigners. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. it is all about location and whether you are sharing your location and if you are sharing your location and if you even know you're doing it. all those questions soon. good morning from bbc london news, i'm katharine carpenter. almost 100 firefighters have spent the night tackling a majorfire at a jewish school in north london. half of the basement and part of the ground floor is alight in the building in stamford hill. the emergency services were called just before midnight but the cause of the blaze isn't known. nearly 40 police station front counters could close to the public by the end of october, according to plans being considered by the mayor. conservatives on the london assembly have accused sadiq khan of not being transparent about the plans. city hall have said he's been forced into the decision due to government cuts.
7:28 am
we're having to look into closing down police stations. we're having to look into reducing the number of front counters, we're even having to look into cutting the number of police officers. my priority is keeping londoners safe and keep the number of front line officers, but i'm afraid as a consequence of government cuts there is no alternative. carers in the capital are to be given a £2 million boost to help them further their education and get paid work. the carers trust charity says its three—year programme will give those looking after others, one—to—one support and links to employers. carers in the capital are to be £2 million help to get more education and into work. let's have a look at the travel situation now. 0n the tube, the piccadilly line has severe delays between acton town and uxbridge because of an earlier signal failure. 0n the trains there are five platfroms out of action at waterloo because of a signal failure. some trains are terminating early or being cancelled. 0n the roads there are still those problems around grosvenor gardens in victoria which we saw
7:29 am
causing delays yesterday, it's down to one lane for emergency gas works. in surbiton victoria road is closed northbound near the station because of an oil spillage and in stamford hill clapton common is partly blocked near to craven walk because of the fire. let's have a check on the weather now with lucy martin. hello, good morning. a hot and sunny day on the way today, temperatures a touch warmer than yesterday but as we move into tomorrow the risk of heavy, thundery showers. as such we have a yellow a weather warning in place, not everyone catching those showers but if you see one they have the potential to be heavy. to the detail on the map, plenty of blue skies and sunshine around, a bit of cloud bubbling up here and there, particularly the further north you are and temperatures today feeling warm with highs around 30 in central london with light winds, feeling really warm. through this evening some late spells of sunshine and then through the night starting to see a bit of cloud pushing in from the south—west. one or two showers to look out for as we move through the early
7:30 am
hours but a fairly muggy night with overnight lows of 17 or 18. as we start the day tomorrow, a bit more in the way of cloud and that's when we have the risk of seeing one or two of those isolated and potentially thundery showers, don't take the positioning to literally, everyone seeing the potential of seeing one of those, highs of around 28 or 29 but perhaps feeling a touch warmer and muggier tomorrow. the outlook, plenty of sunshine today but the risk of an isolated and thundery shower tomorrow. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now, though, it's back to dan and louise. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. we will be at wimbledon shortly. the main stories this morning: most of the families who lost their homes
7:31 am
in the devastating grenfell tower fire are still living in hotels, despite government pledges to rehouse them all by today. officials say everyone has been made an offer of temporary accommodation, but lawyers for the families say many are unsuitable. there was also anger at a meeting with police and the westminster coroner last night, where residents demanded to know why there have been no arrests. speaking to us in the last half—hour, a spokeswoman for the g re nfell tower half—hour, a spokeswoman for the grenfell tower response team said the council would continue to try to find a home for all residents. when you are dealing with 158 families, of which only 14 have currently accepted accommodation, you have to factor in that it goes at the pace of each individual family and that's the important point and that's why you can't put a timescale on it, the course it's not about numbers and it's not about russian people. it's about understanding the devastating impact on this family and each
7:32 am
family have to have wraparound support in order to make the right decisions and get to the right decision, in order to be able to help them to move forward. victims of harassment and stalking in england and wales are being left at risk because of failings by police and prosecutors, according to an official report. two watchdogs found that crimes weren't being recorded, investigations were poorly conducted and legal protection wasn't offered to enough victims. they examined 112 cases in detail and concluded that none had been dealt with well. the us and south korea havejointly warned north korea that war can't be ruled out, following pyongyang's intercontinental ballistic missile test on tuesday. the two countries' most senior officers based in south korea said self restraint was a choice, which could change at any time. north korea has quoted its leader kim jong—un taunting the us, calling its missile test a gift to the americans on their independence day. saudi arabia is the biggest foreign promoter of islamist extremism in the uk, according
7:33 am
to a foreign policy think tank. the henry jackson society accuses saudi individuals and foundations of exporting "an illiberal, bigoted ideology" and calls for the uk government's secret report into extremism to be made public. the saudi embassy in london has called the allegations "categorically false". the rationing of nhs treatments such as hip, knee and cataract operations, as well as mental health services, has increased significantly in england over the past four years according to a study published in the british medicaljournal. growing financial pressure and increased demand for services has led some areas to withdraw funding for some procedures, leading to what doctors describe as a growing postcode lottery. students starting their studies in england this september can expect to graduate with average debts of more than £50,000. that's according to a report by the institute for fiscal studies, which also indicates that students from the poorest backgrounds will leave university with the highest debts.
7:34 am
the study‘s authors described the new 6.1% interest rates on student loans as "very high". the department of education declined to comment. we are celebrating spam today. it is the food that kept troops alive in the food that kept troops alive in the second world war. it fed on willing children for many generations! the 80th birthday for spam. we have an interesting relationship with it. some people love it. 8 billion cans of the stuff have been sold. i am led to believe it's a delicacy in some parts of the world. lots of people are sending in recipes. someone says they made a spam curry, it was revolting. bill says he makes fried eggs sandwiches, with spam.
7:35 am
grilled on toast, smothered in beans. and caroline says she thinks she had spam once and it turned her into a vegetarian. a fact. the highest it has of spam —— eaters of spam are from guam. thousands of cans of spam every year. but 50% of deaths there are down to poor diet. they may not be linked! potentially. someone has very generously given us a tin of spam, which we will try later. you will try later! 0ver later. you will try later! over to wimbledon. sally is out and about, with long queues again. i feel like i've never with long queues again. ifeel like i've never known with long queues again. i feel like i've never known so with long queues again. ifeel like i've never known so much about spam in my life. good morning. good morning from the wimbledon
7:36 am
queue. this is the point where it all gets a bit tense, as tense as it will get here. more on that in a second. for a start on sport, i want to bring you this story from the times. this happened yesterday. 0ne tennis player threw his towel into the crowd. this young man caught it. this grown up man then took it off him and he was really quite disappointed about it. jack found out about it and has said, if anybody knows the kid who tried to catch my towel, let me know. judy murray has spoken about the grown—up man. she says, if you are the bloke in the blue polo shirt you should be ashamed! i wonder what will happen? i think that we might get his own towel. andy murray is on court, due towel. andy murray is on court, due
7:37 am
to be on centre court, today. he is a huge crowd favourite. that will be one to watch. some controversy yesterday after two players went off after being injured. novak djokovic and roger federer said it might be time to change the rules. martin klizan lasted only 40 minutes against djokovic before his calf injury proved too much. and roger federer‘s match wasn't much longer. alexander dolgopolov was forced off with an ankle injury. federer and djokovicjoked in the locker room that they should go out and play a practice set together, they'd had so little time on court. there was more controversy after australian bernard tomic said he was "bored" during his straight—sets defeat to mischa zverev. he also admitted to using a medical time—out to try to slow down the match, which could earn him a fine. after going out in the first round for the last four years ina row,
7:38 am
kyle edmund finally made it through to round two, when he beat his fellow brit alex ward. he is on the programme with us here later. and women's world number one angelique kerber is through, after beating american qualifier irina falconi. kerber was runner up last year to serena williams. away from the tennis, a dramatic crash yesterday. mark cavendish is out of the tour de france. world champion peter sagan was disqualified for elbowing cavendish, although his team have appealed against the decision. cavendish broke his shoulder and needed stitches in his hand. terrible scenes. rangers have suffered one of the worst defeats in their history. leading 1—0 from the first leg at ibrox, they were knocked out of the europa league by a part—time team from luxembourg and they lost 2—0 on the night, 2—1 on aggregate. not great for them. billy monger, the teenage racing driver involved in a crash earlier this year which saw him lose his legs, has driven a hand controlled race car at brands hatch.
7:39 am
it was the first time he'd driven since the accident 11 weeks ago. an online campaign went viral, raising almost £1 million his rehabilitation. isn't that brilliant? all morning we've been spending time with the very, very happy people sitting in the sunshine in the wimbledon queue. 0ne the sunshine in the wimbledon queue. one of the things we've been doing to keep them entertained is playing game, set, mug. good morning. you are volunteers for this morning and you haven't had much chance to practise. very little time! thoughts on technique's i'm thinking under arm. i've got three balls ready. have you watched andy murray do his? that's interesting. he was ready with three balls ready to go. 0ne word of advice, try the under arm first and then maybe try overarm. that's all i'm saying. start the
7:40 am
clock, 30 seconds. starting, three, two, one, go! come on! no, no, not one. try over! nearly! ithink two, one, go! come on! no, no, not one. try over! nearly! i think you are doing slightly better. a little bit further. a bit of height. keep going. right on the camera! ten seconds left. ten seconds. come on. 0ver arm! bounced off the edge! try over arm! 0ver arm! bounced off the edge! try overarm! no! 0ver arm! bounced off the edge! try over arm! no! stop! 0ver arm! bounced off the edge! try overarm! no! stop! how do you 0ver arm! bounced off the edge! try over arm! no! stop! how do you think you did? very disappointing. let's go and look. are you ready? let's look inside. you announce into the world. how many? zero! not very impressive... world. how many? zero! not very
7:41 am
impressive. . . absolutely world. how many? zero! not very impressive... absolutely nothing. do you know how many andy murray got in? 14! it was over arm. you know how many andy murray got in? 14! it was overarm. i did give you a little tip. can i say overarm? iam you a little tip. can i say overarm? i am saying it to everybody! thank you so much for trying. that's really good. trying that live on bbc 0ne really good. trying that live on bbc one for the first time ever, very brave. ido want brave. i do want to say anything about it because we will be challenged to do it, you know that. i'm going for the andy murray technique, just overarm. are you going to practise beforehand? ijust going to go in there, feeling strong. you might have heard of snapchat and you'll almost certainly have seen the selfies people take with those special effects filters. all a bit of fun. sally with some ears.
7:42 am
very easy to find these. but how would you feel if people on the app could see exactly where your children were when they posted a picture? the app has introduced a new feature which allows users to track each other‘s movements in real time. called snapmaps, it's raising concerns among parents and child safety experts. as you go out on the map, there's sally in wimbledon, and you can find other people on your snapchat around the world. we have one of our correspondence in bangkok. it's really specific. you can find not only what room of the house they are written, you can see whether they are awake or asleep. —— are in. it's a feature that had loose women presenter and parent, nadia sawalha, worried when she spoke to her daughter about it. i have this friend that i speak to
7:43 am
in florida. she is my age and when i first got snapmaps i was looking around to see what it was like and i could see she was sitting down in florida, at high school. you can also see what school people are out. this is so dangerous. i think this is so dangerous and a step too far. i'm completely horrified by this. what do you think? am i being an overprotective mother? what do you think? are your kids using it? digi no it existed, because i didn't ready four hours ago! —— did you know. good morning. we've spoken of it about it, but what exactly is it letting people see and do? there are two things snapmap does. where there isa two things snapmap does. where there is a popular event at the concert, people can post publicly, so you choose to post publicly, and then
7:44 am
something comes up to say that lots of people are posting from there and you can see the public videos and pictures that people have shared. the second thing that people are more concerned about is that you can share your location with people on your friends list. if you added me asa your friends list. if you added me as a friend and i've added you, then we can choose to share our location and see exactly on the map where we are. do you need to opt in, or is it automatic? do you have to say that you want to share your location? you do have to opt in, but when they launched it they said there was a new feature and it pops up on your phone and you cut through and by that point you have opted in and you have to go back and take yourself off. so a lot of people are finding that accidentally opted in. you've got a son and you looked at you've got a son and you looked at his phone yesterday, was he opted into this? he was. were you concerned? i didn't know anything
7:45 am
about it, i had a conversation and found out about it and i thought, well, let's not get hysterical, let's have a look at it from both sides. i started to research it and was a little bit worried about the fa ct was a little bit worried about the fact you can be pinpointed to any area, obviously there's predators, bullies in our communities, you want to make sure they're safe. for me i just bought its great for people who are aware of all of the safeguards on itand are aware of all of the safeguards on it and if you can put all those in place it could be quite good fun. but there's more vulnerable people in the community who could be... they may not know about the safeguarding aspects and who also maybe think it's a bit fun and we could be pulled into different areas where you wouldn't expect your children to go. from the point of view of your son, he can see where
7:46 am
his schoolmates are? they have snapchat for their class, they keep in contact and talk about homework, if they go for a trip for school, they talk about what they need and if they go out socially they could post pictures of what they're up to. is the quite tech savvy? when he talked about safety concerns you knew about it? he was telling me. he was telling me about snap maps, someone told him about it, one of his friends at school, we went through the safety side of it and i was saying, look, this could happen and he was saying it's fine, if you do this, put ghost mode on, that's fine and nobody can see me. i kind of thought, if somebody hasn't got the settings on, the safety settings, can they see william? he was saying to me, no, they can't, i
7:47 am
have to add people in and be able to... have to add people in and be able to. . . allow have to add people in and be able to... allow them to see him? the thing is, friends and social media aren't necessarily all your friends, that's one of the concerns? that's right, we all have people on our friends list either on facebook or twitter that we don't know and snapchat doesn't give you a discovery feature. i could add you asa discovery feature. i could add you as a public figure and followed justin bieber. the thing about the location sharing is you only see the location sharing is you only see the location if you follow each other back, but if you've added people you haven't met in real life, which is possible... it's a shame to have x amount of people following you and following them back, that could be another issue? the other thing is why does it need to be so accurate? if they have posted in a house it tells you exactly where they live. even the room? it uses gps so it is very accurate, other apps let you
7:48 am
share your location even on a specific case, on whatsapp you can say i'm here and share your location with one person, and you can check into things like a concert, they are more of a vague location. snapchat says it has to be super accurate so if you're at a festival together you can pinpoint where your friends are, that's why they've made it so accurate but it is in so make sure on your settings you're not opted in if you don't want to be. later today we are going to load up a guide on our facebook and twitter bbc brea kfast accou nts our facebook and twitter bbc breakfast accounts on how to load up ghost mode and how to opt in and out, you didn't go for hysterical mum, you went for a conversation? you have to look at it and from william's point of view, he is very savvy, he is aware of things that happen around him and the school have been very good, they have introduced people who have given them talks about online safety and we do as well. i think parents do
7:49 am
have to have a look and see where the children are. it always seems like catch up, doesn't it? ! thank you very much indeed. we are going to catch up with lovely carol, court number two, we are going to catch up with lovely carol, court numbertwo, good morning? good morning. good morning. first on court number two today is heather watson playing serviced over at 11:30am. expect all these seats to be packed. —— sevestova. the grand capacity is 39,000 people. that will vary depending on the number of games played and possibly due to the weather as well and during wimbledon fortnight, 674 matches actually take place so that's a whopping big number. if you're coming down today it's going to stay dry, it will be hot and humid, it's already 17 here, we expect the temperature to be in the high 20s or maybe even 30 with a
7:50 am
light breezes to don't forget to slip, slapped and slop, good advice for most of the uk! —— slip, slapped and slop. for the next few days it will be warm and humid but for southern areas it will be hot. we start at 9am in the south, a lot of sunshine with the temperature romping up quickly now. through the midlands, northern england, a bit more cloud, a weak weather front decaying but still producing some outbreaks of brazil, patchy light rain, especially in north—east england and some coastal and hill fog —— outbreaks of drizzle. 0nly five celsius at the moment in northern scotland but a beautiful start in northern ireland with the temperature climbing. in north wales, a bit more cloud at the moment but that will thin and break, south wales and south—west england, sunshine. the outside chance of a thundery shower in south—west england this morning but that is
7:51 am
all, as we drift from gloucestershire to london, we are backin gloucestershire to london, we are back in the sunshine and temperatures steadily climbing. also fresher on the coast. as we go through the day, the weather front draped across northern england will tend to weaken, especially from the west and north—west england and south—west scotland will brighten up to see sunshine. south—west scotland and north—east england will hang on to more cloud pegging back temperatures. here we're looking at 13 or 14. temperatures. here we're looking at 13 or14. in temperatures. here we're looking at 13 or 14. in northern ireland and scotland, 18 or 19. for the rest of england and wales, 24 to 30.30 scotland, 18 or 19. for the rest of england and wales, 24 to 30. 30 is more likely in the south—east. through the evening and overnight, we start to import thunderstorms across the english channel across southern counties. at the same time we have a weather front producing rain coming in across western scotla nd rain coming in across western scotland and northern ireland. for some it will be another sticky night with overnight lows of between ten and 18. tomorrow the rain in northern ireland and western
7:52 am
scotla nd northern ireland and western scotland rattles through quickly, late in the day another weather front comes in replacing the rain in the west but it's the thunderstorms across england continuing to migrate northwards, some of them will be hunting is and also they will have hail embedded in them but some will miss them all together and we will have another sunny, dry and sticky day, still the potential tomorrow in the south with highs of 30. as we head into friday, a lot of dry weather around, the thunderstorm risk diminishes, a few showers in the north—east of england and by the end of the day another weather front bringing rain in northern ireland. fresher for most except in the south where we hang on to high levels of humidity and the high temperatures. really will be high temperatures! some people will love it. thanks very much, carol! the weather looks amazing at the moment! it hasjust the weather looks amazing at the moment! it has just been wonderful. every morning... do you think
7:53 am
there's going to be rain? pharrell williams knost. at some stage the weather is going to turn —— carol will no. it's ten years to the day since the cost of borrowing last went up. since then the direction has been downwards to today's historic low. ben's been looking at the impact on borrowers, savers and the economy. spam is interesting i think! the bank of england's monetary policy committee meets every month to set interest rates. in recent years rates peaked at just under 6%, with the last increase on this day in 2007. sarah coles is a personal finance expert with aol. ten years, they stayed at 0.5% for so long and then the cut after the brexit vote to just 0.25 %, brilliant news for borrowers but terrible for savers? yes, if you look at the rates in 2007 you could get 6% as a best buy rate and now
7:54 am
you're looking at 1.25%, for those people trying to live off their savings, especially pensioners, it's been difficult. this has been a really dangerous and difficult time. it shows on one hand and some people will win and other people are going to lose, some would say it's the price some have had to pay to keep the economy on an even keel because the economy on an even keel because the bank of england cut rates to try to keep the economy ticking over, it was likened to putting the economy ona was likened to putting the economy on a life—support machine by slashing rates so low, is that a fair assertion, some are going to lose but it's the price we pay for keeping the economy going? it's difficult because borrowing becomes more affordable, it's the era of cheap money and people have made ends meet better because mortgage payments have come down. looking at typical rates, 2007 was 5.8% for a typical rates, 2007 was 5.8% for a typical mortgage, now its 2.6% so a big saving for people. the problem
7:55 am
comes when you're trying to drive an economy through borrowing, people then just load economy through borrowing, people thenjust load up economy through borrowing, people then just load up more economy through borrowing, people thenjust load up more on debt. if you look at borrowing at the moment, there's £1.3 trillion of mortgage debt compared to £1.1 trillion in 2007, consumer borrowing has gone up as well so we have loaded up on debt which gives us the problem when the bank of england are looking at raising rates, there's 8 million people who have never experienced a rate rise in their adult life and then they will find borrowing more expensive. can they deal with it? what about the psychology for people who have never seen a rate rise? we assume money will be cheap for a long time but there's very little incentive to save. this is why savings rates have fallen to record lows because people don't see any point in pushing their money away for 1.25%. the point in pushing their money away for1.25%. the aim point in pushing their money away for 1.25%. the aim of the bank of england, and why they are talking about making the changes now, is so they can make changes slowly so people get used to small rises. 0ne of the other changes they have been
7:56 am
trying to do is make sure people who borrowed money now are making much more stringent tests to afford them, but psychologically it will seem strange to people, especially like it's not like they are left with more money in their pocket, they have money squeezed elsewhere, more expensive in the supermarkets, gas bills, cars, everything is more expensive now. where the bank was hoping you would have this pre— money and then it's allocated back, it won't work like that in practice so... thanks for explaining that. more from me after 8am. good morning from bbc london news, i'm katharine carpenter. almost 100 firefighters have spent the night tackling a majorfire at a jewish school in north london. half of the basement and part of the ground floor is alight in the building in stamford hill. the emergency services were called just before midnight but the cause of the blaze isn't known.
7:57 am
nearly 40 police station front counters could close to the public by the end of october, according to plans being considered by the mayor. conservatives on the london assembly have accused sadiq khan of not being transparent about the plans. city hall have said he's been forced into the decision due to government cuts. we're having to look into closing down police stations. we're having to look into reducing the number of front counters, we're even having to look into cutting the number of police officers. my priority is keeping londoners safe and keep the number of front line officers, but i'm afraid as a consequence of government cuts there is no alternative. carers in the capital are to be given a £2 million boost to help them further their education and get paid work. the carers trust charity says its three—year programme will give those looking after others, one—to—one support and links to employers. carers in the capital are to be £2 million help to get more education and into work. let's have a look at the travel situation now. 0n the tube, the piccadilly line has
7:58 am
severe delays between acton town but that has cleared. 0n the trains there are five platfroms out of action at waterloo because of a signal failure. some trains are terminating early or being cancelled. 0n the roads there are still those problems around grosvenor gardens in victoria which we saw causing delays yesterday, it's down to one lane for emergency gas works. in surbiton, victoria road is closed northbound near the station because of an oil spillage and in stamford hill, clapton common is partly blocked near to craven walk because of the fire. let's have a check on the weather now with lucy martin. hello, good morning. a hot and sunny day on the way today, temperatures a touch warmer than yesterday but as we move into tomorrow the risk of heavy, thundery showers. as such we have a yellow a weather warning in place, not everyone catching those showers but if you see one they have the potential to be heavy. to the detail on the map, plenty of blue skies and sunshine around, a bit of cloud bubbling up here and there, particularly the further north
7:59 am
you are and temperatures today feeling warm with highs around 30 in central london with light winds, feeling really warm. through this evening some late spells of sunshine and then through the night starting to see a bit of cloud pushing in from the south—west. one or two showers to look out for as we move through the early hours but a fairly muggy night with overnight lows of 17 or 18. as we start the day tomorrow, a bit more in the way of cloud and that's when we have the risk of seeing one or two of those isolated and potentially thundery showers, don't take the positioning to literally, everyone seeing the potential of seeing one of those, highs of around 28 or 29 but perhaps feeling a touch warmer and muggier tomorrow. the outlook, plenty of sunshine today but the risk of an isolated and thundery shower tomorrow. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now, though, it's back to dan and louise. hello this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin.
8:00 am
anger and frustration, as the government deadline to rehouse all grenfell survivors nearby passes. the council says everyone has been made an offer but families say many are unsuitable. most remain in hotels three weeks on. it doesn't feel like home. i miss my room. my daughter, she's not... she's losing her focus, because this is not her place. and at another angry meeting with the police last night — residents say their questions still aren't being answered. whatever it is, we want to know exactly what it is, do not hide anything. good morning, it's wednesday 5th july. also this morning, victims of stalking and harassment are being put at risk, because of failings by police and prosecutors —
8:01 am
a new report blames poor investigations and a lack of legal protection. an average debt of more than £50,000 for university students in england — a new report says they'll be paying it off into their 50s. i will talk about that and also have news that it is ten years to the day since interest rates fell to their record lows, but why, and what does it mean to the economy? i'll have the details. good morning from the wimbledon queue, some of these lucky people might be able to see andy murray play on centre court later on, after two of his main rivals suggested yesterday there should be a change in the rules, after both their opponents retired through injury. and mark cavendish is out of the tour de france. he broke his shoulder in a collision with a world champion, peter sagan, who has been disqualified from the race. and i am
8:02 am
inside wimbledon this morning where the sun is beating down, the temperature is already 18 celsius and it will get hotter, in fact the forecast for most of us today is a dry run with some sunshine, hot and humid in the south. the exceptions across the north of england and southern scotland, where there is a band of cloud and some patchy, light rain will improve through the day from the west. a full weather report from the west. a full weather report from 8:15am. good morning. first, our main story. most of the families who lost their homes in the devastating grenfell tower fire are still living in hotels — despite government pledges to rehouse them all by today. officials say everyone has been made an offer of temporary accommodation but lawyers for the families say many are unsuitable. there was also anger at a meeting with police and the westminster coroner last night, where residents demanded to know why there have been no arrests. nick quraishi reports. this was the first opportunity for families to put their questions directly to police and the westminster coroner. one reason this private meeting lasted more than 3.5 hours. it's understood relatives were told
8:03 am
in graphic detail the challenge that forensic teams are facing in even trying to find dna, which could identify loved ones. they say the information they are getting isn't good enough. we personally asked, where is our family? we want to know, is our families' bodies still there? is there anything from them? whatever it is, we want to know exactly what it is, do not hide anything. and the answers that were coming back were, "we don't know, we don't know, we don't know." today is the deadline set by theresa may to rehouse the 158 families made homeless by the disaster. according to the grenfell response team, that target has been met, with 139 formal offers made, butjust nine have been accepted. butjust 14 have been accepted. survivors say most of the accommodation is simply unsuitable. my
8:04 am
my daughter, she's not... she's losing her focus, my daughter, she's not... she's losing herfocus, because this is not her place. they need something suitable for them, something with dignity, that's what they are looking for. three weeks after the tragedy, police still maintain their investigation will be exhaustive and will bring the answers that the families desperately deserve, however long it takes. nick quraishi, bbc news. speaking to this programme early on, a spokeswoman for the grenfell response team said the council would continue to find homes for all residents. when you are dealing with 158 families, of which only 14 have accepted the current temporary association, you have two factor in it goes at the pace of each individualfamily it goes at the pace of each individual family and that is the important point. that is why you can't put a timescale on it, because it is not about numbers and not about rushing people to meet targets. it is about understanding the devastating impact on these families, and that each family has

to have wraparound support to make the right decisions and get to the right position in order to be to help them move forward. victims of harassment and stalking in england and wales are being left at risk because of failings by police and prosecutors. two watchdogs found that crimes weren't being recorded, investigations were poorly conducted and legal protection wasn't offered to enough victims. they examined 112 cases in detail and concluded that none had been dealt with well. officers and prosecutors were identifying cases in isolation, whereas, by its very nature, both stalking and harassment occurs as a result of really pernicious and persistent offending and officers and prosecutors were missing that, which meant that victims were left at risk. the rationing of nhs treatments like
8:06 am
hip, knee and cataract operations, as well as mental health services, has increased significantly in england over the past four years. growing financial pressure and increased demand for services has led some areas to withdraw funding for some procedures, according to the british medicaljournal. it's leading to what some doctors describe as a growing postcode lottery. here's our health correspondent, dominic hughes. a growing and ageing population is placing increasing demands on the nhs, that in turn is ramping up the pressure on finances, so, to save money in some areas, funding for commentary mince is being withdrawn. doctors say health leaders must be honest with patients about the tough choices they are having to make. the nhs is seriously struggling financially, and that is because of a decade of underinvestment by the government. the year after year we have seen a lack of investment, so local areas are having to make these really difficult decisions, and ultimately, in many areas, rationing services. where funding has been
8:07 am
withdrawn, gps can make individual requests on a case—by—case basis. a bmj analysis as overall these have increased by 47% in the past four yea rs. increased by 47% in the past four years. there has also been a big rise in requests for hip and knee operations over the same time period, and the number of cataract operations for which sun —— funding has been sought has also gone up. in england, decisions on what services the fund are made by local clinical commissioning groups, the national body that represents them says that given a limited budget, they are forced to make difficult choices to balance the needs of the individual against those of the wider population, but doctors and health campaigners say budget pressures are now creating a postcode lottery for treatments that were until recently commonly available. saudi arabia is the biggest foreign promoter of islamist extremism in the uk, according to a foreign policy think tank. the henry jackson society accuses saudi individuals and foundations of exporting ‘an illiberal, bigoted ideology‘ and calls for the uk government's secret report into extremism
8:08 am
to be made public. the saudi embassy in london has called the allegations "categorically false". the average dude in debt for graduates in england the average student debt for graduates in england is set to rise to over £50,000. the figure has emerged after research carried out by the insititute for fiscal studies. ben's here to tell us more. it isa it is a pretty terrible for not having to pay off loans and debts well into your 50s that these are the figures from the institute for fiscal studies, suggesting that with such a debt burden, having graduated with a good job even, people will be paying well into their 50s. they are great that if you take out a loan about £45,000 over three or four yea rs of about £45,000 over three or four years of your university career, you will pay about £51,000 back by the time you have added up all the interest. it also points out the interest. it also points out the interest rate charged on that loan is pretty sky—high, just over 6%,
8:09 am
and if you compare that in what we pay on things like mortgages and normal loans on the open market, the bank of england base rate of growth ata bank of england base rate of growth at a record low of a quarter of 1%, so they say there is a big difference, students are being hit with these extra charges. we should savour the universities it has meant more money, they have been able to invest more per student, they have been able to invest in universities up been able to invest in universities up and down the country. this applies to students in england. at a really worrying thought about how long students will be burdened with the step and if and when they are able to pay it back. they point out you can only start paying it back when you are earning over £21,000 a year, that threshold has not changed, that has not moved in line with inflation, so as soon as you hit £21,000 in earnings, you start paying it back, and as they point out, that means you could be paying it back well back into that your 50s. on that happy news... it is ten past eight this morning. said self restraint was a choice
8:10 am
that could change at any time. for the latest, let's speak to our seoul correspondent, steve evans. every time there was a missile test, there are raised tensions, what do you make of the latest events? raised tension as you say, quite obviously a warof tension as you say, quite obviously a war of words, no obvious diplomatic way out, kim jong—un is saying the missile test, which was obviously successful, was a gift to america on american independence day. the military officers here are saying peace is a choice, and we could choose —— choose the other way. that is the gist of what they are saying. it is obviously a tense situation. i don't think it is the famed red line yet, where donald trump said back injanuary it won't happen. ie kill, a —— a missile
8:11 am
capable of hitting the us. they have it -- capable of hitting the us. they have it--a capable of hitting the us. they have it —— a missile that can hit alaska, we don't know if it is accurate but not, it won't hit seattle or los angeles. we're not quite there yet. but every step of the way, and this isa but every step of the way, and this is a big step, makes the world more dangerous, absolutely no doubt about that. steve evans, thank you, from seoul. bijan ebrahimi was brutally murdered by his neighbour in 2013 — kicked to death and set alight on his estate in bristol. in the years up to his death, he'd repeatedly called police to tell them that he was being racially abused by some of his neighbours and was receiving death threats. now an investigation into his death by the independent police complaints commission has found that the avon and someset constabulary systematically failed to protect him. we'll speak to ipcc commissionerjan williams
8:12 am
in a minute, after this report from our correspondentjon kay. bijan ebrahimi. he told police dozens of times that his life was in danger. to just do whatever you can. what part of 'be quiet' do you not understand? shut up! now a report says that over several years, the iranian refugee was repeatedly failed by avon and somerset police, treated as a nuisance, not as a victim. in 2013, he was beaten to death by a neighbour outside his flat and his body set on fire. the independent police complaints commission says there were systematic failures in the way he was dealt with. today's report runs to hundreds of pages and it says this whole case has laid bare what it calls the disrespect, the prejudice and even contempt with which some officers and staff treated bijan ebrahimi in the days before he was murdered here. reading that report and just coming to terms with what happened to bijan, it was devastating.
8:13 am
he always thought that he is in a country that police are there to protect people. and he couldn't see anything beyond that. last year, pc kevin duffy and community support officer andrew passmore were jailed, after being convicted of misconduct in a public office. pc‘s leanne winter and helen harris ere cleared by the jury, but were later sacked by a misconduct hearing. we accept that we failed bijan ebrahimi at his time of greatest need and throughout that time, he was respectful and he had confidence and trust in us, the police. and we let him down and for that, we are sorry. avon and somerset police say they have improved the way that they deal with vulnerable people as a result of this case. bijan's sisters are still waiting for the local council's report. let's speak to the ipcc‘s commissioner, jan williams, now. morning to you, jan. listening to
8:14 am
john's report, this is so many serious police failings, aren't there? yes, the magnitude of this failure is very, very clear, and the evidence in our report shows that systematic, consistently, over at least a seven year period, even and somerset police let vision in pretty media down. they never identified him asa media down. they never identified him as a vulnerable man who was a victim of abuse and who really needed their protection and their support. —— bijan ebrahimi. needed their protection and their support. -- bijan ebrahimi. when you look at those calls, 40 of the calls we re look at those calls, 40 of the calls were not actually recorded as crimes by the police. it is systematic failure over a number of years. by the police. it is systematic failure over a number of yearsm
8:15 am
isa failure over a number of yearsm is a systematic failure, and it is extremely hard to understand, because the nature of those calls we re because the nature of those calls were such that bijan ebrahimi was self identifying himself as a victim of race hate crime. he was reporting criminal damage. he was reporting his fears of threats to his life. what he found instead was that he was labelled as the perpetrator, who was labelled as the perpetrator, who was labelled as a liar, a time waster, and attention sicker, and his neighbour's counter allegations we re his neighbour's counter allegations were always accepted at face value, evenif were always accepted at face value, even if there was absolutely no evidence underpinning them. so there is no doubt that those officers and staff who interacted with mr ebrahimi discriminated against him consistently, to his detriment, and without rational explanation. is that what you mean when you say them are hallmarks of racial bias?
8:16 am
there were remarks that could be construed as that. quite clear he was discriminated against. the judge in the criminal proceedings and the misconduct panel did not find evidence officers were discriminating against him because of racial bias. the family believes he was a victim of race hate crime. there is evidence to suggest it is open to interpretation. the motives behind the officers' behaviour is not clear that respect. what is overwhelmingly clear is that they failed time and time again to identify him as a victim, anti—recognise his vulnerability, and to give him protection and support. he never had the protection and support no matter how many times he asked for it. the important question is what recommendations
8:17 am
have you made, and what lessons have tob have you made, and what lessons have to band have you made, and what lessons have to b and hopefully will be learned? i have made a number of recommendations to avon and somerset which have wider applications. important that the leadership of avon and somerset police and police forces widely make it clear to officers and staff that discrimination of any kind, bias of any kind, conscious or unconscious has absolutely no place in modern policing. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. the main stories this morning... grenfell tower survivors have expressed their frustration at the authorities, saying questions still aren't being answered and no—one has been arrested. north korea is warned by the usa and south korea that war can't be ruled out, after pyongyang's intercontinental ballistic missile test. we are going to go to wimbledon

cleaning behind her. it was one of the key promises from theresa may in the wake of the grenfell tower tragedy — that all survivors would be rehoused in quality accommodation by today. despite that pledge only nine offers have been accepted and many families are still living in hotels. so, three weeks after that devastating fire, why are so many people still not living in a place they can call home? frankie mccamley went to meet one man and his 10—year—old daughter to hear their story. you feel better? yes. sid—ali and his daughter hayam and his wife lived on the 15th floor of grenfell tower. they've now been living in a hotel for three weeks. it's not comfortable and it doesn't feel like home. i miss my room and all the memories i had, my baby albums, i miss them a lot. my daughter...
8:23 am
she's losing her focus because this isn't her place, not her room, not her life. i find it hard to sleep, i have nightmares about if it happens again, if i wake up and i see fire in the building. ifeel, like, useless. i feel i have no power to take away all this pain from her. if i could, i would, i would take all the pain and put it on me. the families say they have received calls of support from local services but what they really want is for someone to visit them. the people in my building, they were very close to me and they were like family and seeing them go wasn't good. you're so brave, you're so brave.
8:24 am
as the family struggle to come to terms with what happened, they say they have been offered a two bedroom flatjust over a mile away, but sid—ali says it's too far from hayam's school and it's not big enough. they need to see us as a victim and treat us with dignity, we're not numbers, we're not numbers. this is so frustrating. it's very bad, it's very bad. three weeks they haven't found a solution. the council says it's made 139 offers of accommodation to grenfell tower residents, nine of which have been accepted. it says the three—week target of offering temporary homes to those affected has been met, but for this family the money and support they've been offered has simply not been good enough. they're putting a price on us,
8:25 am
they give £5,000 each and £500, is that the value of lives? i want this to finish. that's what i need, my dignity. have you got any faith in the services any more? no, i have faith in the residents, i have faith in the community, i have faith in the people who live their lives... my faith is there, my faith is there. then update on the accommodation numbers, we spoke to a person from the grenfell tower ‘s response team. of the 139 formal offers, 14 have been accepted. given what they said about somebody not visiting, she said she would follow that up, and find out why that may be the case.
8:26 am
you can watch that interview and the iplayer. today's show will be available right the way through. still to come, more from centre court. looking ahead to all the action s fw 19 on day three of wimbledon. right now, let's get news, travel and weather. we will see you in hello, good morning, it is going to turn pretty hot across southern parts of the uk, not only today but the next couple of days or so, but the next couple of days or so, but
8:27 am
